Electronic Databases And Publishing

Databases profiled include databases of the Research Libraries Group, the OCLC Online Union Catalog, and the National Technical Information Service. Other subjects include predicting journal subscription rates, and the health of North America's small and mid-sized book publishers since 1980.
